Four weeks.One cost base.A number youcan act on.
Fixed fee, four weeks. You pick the cost base. We hand back the recoverable money, ranked, and the plan to get it.
Three versions. Same discipline.
A diagnostic is scoped to one cost base so it finishes in four weeks or less and produces something you can take to the board. Pick the one that matches where the money is going.
Marketing & Agency Cost
For CMOs and CFOs whose marketing budget is a top-five cost line. Agency fees and scope, media supply chain and platform fees, production, martech, contracts.
Software, Cloud & IT Cost
For CFOs and CTOs whose software and cloud bill has outgrown its owner. SaaS inventory, license-to-usage, enterprise agreements, cloud commitments, telecom, renewal calendar.
Deal Vendor Review
For PE deal teams during exclusivity. Two to three weeks. Agency, media, software, cloud and vendor contracts read for cost, risk and recoverable value, delivered as deal model inputs and a draft 100-day plan.
Five things, in writing, in four weeks or less.
No deck of frameworks. A spend map, a ranked list and a plan your finance team can check.
Spend map
Every dollar in the cost base by vendor, contract, owner and renewal date. Usually the first time anyone has seen it in one place.
Benchmark
Fees, rates and terms against what we see across engagements and current market rate cards. Where you are paying above market, and by how much.
Recoverable money, ranked
A conservative estimate per line, ranked by size and ease, with the method behind each number so a CFO can test it.
Contracts to reopen
Which agreements, which clauses, in what order, with where you have room to push in each. Plus the ones to leave alone.
The plan
A 90-day sequence to capture it, with what we would run, what your team would own, and what it would cost. You can run it yourself, hire us to run it, or do nothing. All three are fine.
How we charge
15-minute call. Free. Tell us the situation and the numbers you have. On the call we tell you whether it looks high and what we would do. No documents needed, nothing in writing.
Second Opinion. Paid. We read the documents themselves: one contract, renewal or agency proposal, in five business days. In writing, you get the target price, the clauses to change, your walk-away point and a drafted reply to the vendor. A small fixed fee, quoted when you send the documents and credited in full if you go on to a Diagnostic. Send us the contract.
Diagnostic. Fixed fee, quoted on the first call once we know the size of the cost base, and capped before we start. No hourly billing, no scope creep, no surprise invoice.
Scoped engagements. Fixed fee, paid from savings, or a mix. Where part of the fee rides on the result, the baseline is agreed in writing first, so there is no argument later.
We are paid by clients only. Never by agencies, platforms or vendors. References available on request.
Tell us which cost base.
Fifteen minutes. We’ll tell you whether a diagnostic is the right first step and what it would cost.
